Minnesota Routs Pittsburgh On The Road
Minnesota enters this matchup at 11-7-4, fresh off a dominant 5-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 21. Matt Boldy scored twice, while Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Marcus Johansson each added goals in a game that was essentially decided after the first period. Filip Gustavsson made 19 saves for his second shutout of the season, and the Wild extended their points streak to seven straight contests.
Offensively, Minnesota has found its rhythm in November, averaging nearly three goals per game and riding hot streaks from Boldy and Kaprizov. Boldy now has 13 goals, while Kaprizov sits at 12, and Johansson has chipped in with 18 points. Their power play has been a major weapon, converting at 25.9%, good for fifth in the league. Joel Eriksson Ek continues to be a steady two-way presence, winning over 52% of his faceoffs and contributing 15 points. The Wild’s ability to score first — they’ve struck first in 11 straight games — has been a huge factor in their turnaround.
Defensively, Minnesota has tightened up considerably after a rough October. They’re allowing just 2.9 goals per game, and rookie Jesper Wallstedt, slated to start here, has been excellent with a 2.20 GAA and two shutouts in seven appearances. Brock Faber has emerged as a reliable presence on the blue line, while Jonas Brodin and Jared Spurgeon provide veteran stability. The penalty kill remains a concern at 74%, but the Wild’s recent ability to limit high-danger chances has masked that weakness.

Winnipeg Falls at Home To The Hurricanes
Winnipeg sits at 12-8-0 but comes in off a 4-3 home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on November 21. Gabriel Vilardi scored twice, and Josh Morrissey added a goal, but the Jets couldn’t overcome Jordan Staal’s two-goal night for Carolina. Eric Comrie made 24 saves in net, filling in with Connor Hellebuyck sidelined for several weeks following knee surgery.
Offensively, the Jets remain dangerous, ranking sixth in the NHL with 3.3 goals per game. Mark Scheifele leads the team with 28 points, while Kyle Connor has matched him with 25. Morrissey continues to drive play from the back end with 22 points, and Vilardi has been a steady secondary scorer with 16 points. Winnipeg’s power play has been sharp at 25.4%, and their faceoff win rate of 52.9% helps them control possession. Even without Hellebuyck, the Jets have enough firepower to pressure opponents consistently.
Defensively, Winnipeg has been solid, allowing just 2.8 goals per game and ranking sixth on the penalty kill at 83.6%. Morrissey and Dylan DeMelo anchor the blue line, while Logan Stanley has added physicality. Comrie, the probable starter, has a 2.84 GAA in six appearances, and the Jets will need him to hold steady against Minnesota’s surging offense. The Jets’ ability to limit shots — just under 29 per game — has kept them competitive, but facing a Wild team riding momentum will be a significant test.
Minnesota Wild vs Winnipeg Jets Pick
Wild vs Jets Moneyline Pick
- Winnipeg -130 (5 Units)
Winnipeg looks like the stronger side here, especially with the way their offense has been rolling. The Jets rank sixth in the NHL at 3.3 goals per game, and they’ve got multiple weapons producing consistently. Mark Scheifele leads with 28 points, Kyle Connor is right behind with 25, and Josh Morrissey continues to drive play from the blue line with 22 points. Gabriel Vilardi has added secondary scoring with eight goals, giving Winnipeg depth beyond their top line. Their power play has been sharp at 25.4%, and their faceoff win rate of nearly 53% helps them control possession. Against a Minnesota team that has tightened up defensively but still struggles on the penalty kill, Winnipeg’s offensive balance should be the difference.
Defensively, the Jets have been steady, allowing just 2.8 goals per game and ranking sixth on the penalty kill at 83.6%. Even with Eric Comrie likely starting in place of Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg has shown they can limit opponents’ chances, holding teams to under 29 shots per game. Morrissey and Dylan DeMelo anchor the blue line, while Logan Stanley adds size and physicality. Minnesota has been hot lately, but Winnipeg’s ability to combine efficient scoring with disciplined defense gives them the edge. If Comrie holds his ground, the Jets’ depth and structure should carry them to a win in this divisional matchup.
Wild vs Jets Over/Under Pick
- Under 6 (4 Units)
The Under 6 feels like the right angle because both Minnesota and Winnipeg have been leaning on structure and goaltending to stay competitive. The Wild are allowing just 2.9 goals per game, and Jesper Wallstedt has been sharp with a 2.20 GAA in limited action. Winnipeg has been equally steady, giving up 2.8 goals per game and ranking sixth on the penalty kill at 83.6%, which should help neutralize Minnesota’s strong power play. While both offenses have talent, neither team plays at a breakneck pace, and with disciplined defensive systems on both sides, this matchup sets up well for a tighter, lower-scoring game under the 6-goal mark.
